You need low diff coins that the USB miner supports.

There's two kinds of USB miners today: SHA-256 or Scrypt.

For SHA-256, use this list to find the most profitable:

For Scrypt, use this:

Note that all I did is use the filters on whattomine.com for the hashrate of the common SHA-256 (15 ghz on a GekkoScience 2Pac) and Scrypt (4 mh/s on a Futurebit Moonlander2)

So basically the easiest sha-256 coin (because i was concidering that kind) coin to mine is DashCoin
